This book shows the effectiveness of multiregional demography for
studying the spatial dynamics of migration and population
redistribution. It examines important questions in demographic
analysis and shows how the techniques of multiregional analysis can
lead to answers that sometimes contradict conventional wisdom. The
book reconsiders conclusions reached in the literature regarding
several fundamental common sense demographic questions in migration
and population redistribution, including: Is it mostly migration or
"aging-in-place" that has been driving Florida's elderly population
growth? Do the elderly return "home" after retirement more than the
non-elderly do? Does longer life lead to longer ill-health? Do
simple population projection models outperform complex ones? For
each demographic question it reconsiders, the book begins with a
simple empirical numerical example and with it illustrates how a
uniregional specification can bias findings to favor a particular,
and possibly incorrect, conclusion. It then goes on to show how a
multiregional analysis can better illuminate the dynamics that
underlie the observed population totals and lead to a more informed
conclusion. Offering insights into the effectiveness of
multiregional demography, this book serves as a valuable resource
for students and researchers searching for a better way to answer
questions in demographic analysis and population dynamics.
